SHIRT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 31, 191%.

A pplication'flled August 21, 1909. Serial No. 513,943.

To all wlwm it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNARD ROSEN, a

subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the construction of shirts, and has for its object to provide means for keeping the shirt from pulling out in front and also to form an invisible support for drawers;

My invention consists 'in extending the band which is usually fastened along the center of the. shirt in the front a short distance beyond the point where it now endsin the shirts as they are now constructed, thereby forming a tab. Placed in this tab is a button hole which is adapted to fasten to the upper button of the drawers.

Referring to the drawing: Figure 1 is'a front view of a shirt equi ped with my invention. Fig. 2 is a view ooklng at the inside of the shirt and showing the tab on the band'of the shirt. Fi .-3 ma perspective view of a shirt 'equippe with my invention, my invention being applied in this case to a coat shirt.

Referring more particularly to the drawin 1 indicates a common ordinary form of shirt, and 2 the shirt band or hemmed portion extending down the front and on the outside of the shirt. Extending down the inside of the shirt and along the edge adjacent the band 2 is another band or hemmedportion 3. The bands 2 and 3 are fastened together by seams 4, the band 3 extending down below the seam 4 to form a tab 3 and having a button hole 5 placed therein to fasten said tab to the topbutton of the drawers. It is apparent that the tab portion of the band 3 is invisible from the outside of the shirt, and therefore forms an invisible drawers support and shirt holder.

Referring to Fig. 3, I show my invention applied to a coat shirt, the band (i of the shirt extending beyond the seam 7, and having a button hole 8 therein, the extended portion of the band (5 being fastened by means of the button hole 8 to the button 9 of the drawers. It is seen that when the band 10 of the shirt 11 shown in Fig. 3 is buttoned to the band 6 by means of button holes 12 and buttons 13 that the tab 3 which 1s fastened to the button 9 of the drawers is invisible from the outside of the shirt and thereby makes -an absolutely invisible shirt holder and drawers supporter.

My invention might be modified by placing a tab or support around at different places on the inside ofthe shirt, but, however, the construction shown is preferable.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

'- In a shirt having hennned portions in the front buttons placed on one hemmed portion and button holes in the other hemmed portion, the two hemmed portions being fastened together at the waist line, the hemmed ortion with the buttons thereon having an integral tab at its lower end, said tab located on the inner side of said shirt, and having a button hole placed therein, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

' BERNARD ROSEN.
